...I have not seen the home depot wraps, but I'll bet they are even
nastier to probing fingers than nylon!...
Several decades ago, I wired industrial control panels for a living and used nylon
zip ties by the hundreds. We used a "hand gun" shaped tool that both tensions
and cuts flush the tail of the zip tie so there is nothing sticking out to
grab a wayward piece of flesh.
I found a "good enough" quality one at Harbor Freight. It probably would not stand
the abuse that the pro quality ones do but I've used it on many dozens of
zip ties and it works well and will will probably last for the rest of my zip
tying life. It is intended for nylon and plastic zip ties, not the SS ones, which
I've seen but never used.
This first one is junk. Don't buy it.

This one looks very similar to the one I bought which works well.

Harbor Freight sells stainless steel tie wraps that work real well for
banding the fire sleeve. A pack of a "million" was very reasonable compared to
the few you get in a packet at the auto parts store for attaching exhaust
wrap. It certainly does a nicer installation than hose clamps and you don't
need a banding tool. I will be using them to band my exhaust pipe wrap.

Actually Ira,they are not. You just clip off the extra length and then use
your needle nose pliers on the cut end to roll the end.This tightens it a
bit more and no sharp edges like a regular tie wrap.

OK!
What department of home Depot??
BTW, I've been using a flush cutting mini-dykes for the past three
decades and have not been sliced by one of my own since.

What I found works well is to have a piece of sandpaper in your pocket to
lightly buff the end of the cut off tie. Better than that is to use
Coraseal and waxed string.
